In light of the discovery that @GovNedLamont counted an infant suffocation toward his state’s #coronavirus death total, I am calling on @realDonaldTrump to issue an audit of ALL death certificates related to COVID-19. State Health Depts are NOT medical examiners.
Since word is getting out— I can now confirm that the infant in CT was accidentally suffocated by its caretaker, who then called the police. @GovNedLamont KNEW this, & then lied to the world by linking it to the #coronavirus because he wants more Federal money. He should RESIGN.
Conservative commentator Candace Owens called for the resignation of Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont after she claims he lied about an infant dying from the coronavirus.
“If you can be arrested for yelling fire in a theatre, @GovNedLamont should be in prison for this,” Owens said on Twitter in response to a video she made with the headline “BREAKING NEWS! Connecticut @GovNedLamont LIED about the infant death from #coronavirus”

“The death of the infant in Connecticut had nothing to do with COVID-19. I know exactly how the infant died," Owens said in the video. “I know this because people that were involved were mortified and angry, and they were so happy that I spoke out and called out this double-speak. These people reached out to me, not the mother and the father.”
“I think Gov. Ned Lamont should have to step down,” she added.
Owens argued that the infant succumbed to another illness before testing positive for coronavirus postmortem.
“Postmortem, after this infant had already succumbed, they tested this infant for COVID-19. God knows why,” she said. “Because as I have been trying to shout to you all, it does not matter how you die, they will test you for COVID-19. Then, they will use the exact same language that Ned Lamont used: ‘a death linked to COVID-19,’ knowing fully well that the manner in which that infant died had nothing to do with coronavirus.”
Owens followed up her initial tweet with another post accompanied by a video of Lamont calling for his resignation again.
Here it is! @GovNedLamont pressed today about my earlier report that he LIED about the infant #coronavirus death. Look at this coward as he’s too scared to answer—now claiming they have no idea how the baby died!
It was an at-home tragedy. He should be forced to RESIGN for this pic.twitter.com/lJ2ohO7Gv9
